I'd also like to know. Trying to create and no option for Lindblum... servers can't be "full" can they? That'd be stupid. Sigh. Like you, I also checked around and it says all servers are up. Laaaame. If you guys see a change in this status (if Lindblum appears again) please let us know. I'll check periodically also.

Further Character Creation Suspension on Several Worlds (Sep. 23): Follow-up 8 We are experiencing congestion of player characters in certain areas on the Lindblum World, in addition to the worlds mentioned in the previous announcement. Due to this, character creation on these worlds has also been suspended.

We will inform you when character creation is reinstated.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your patience.

Hopefully we are informed soon, this week has just been a string of disappointments. Not only are all my friends on the server I asked them to be, when i finally get my copy i cant even get on my server...

The problem is they followed that same news later that day announcing they had re opened the server, and I can testify to that, as I created my character on friday 24, they simply havent announced anything about this lockdown.

2010-09-23 17:10 From : FINAL FANTASY XIV Further Character Creation Suspension on Several Worlds (Sep. 23): Follow-up We previously informed you that character creation on certain worlds had been suspended, but we are pleased to announce that character creation on the Lindlbum World has now been reinstated as the congestion in the world has eased up.

Thats what didnt exactly make sense for me either. My friend also pointed out that they reopened the char creation on that server yet never mentioned it being blocked again,which is why ive been so patiently waiting. Its not their fault really because they just want to balance out the population, however the correct information wouldnt hurt either.

Sorry to bump an old thread however I'm having this issue now. By now I mean since Oct 1st. Is Lindblum really that congested that it's been locked out from character creation for over 36 hours straight?

If so, please go around and MPK people who are logged in but just selling stuff out of their bazaar and idle. ;)
